Hajj is likely to be canceled this year, but which of the following is the second option?

The Corona virus has now spread to the rest of the world and has infected millions and killed millions more, which is why in the current situation, every country has made the health of its people a top priority-

On this basis, the possibility of canceling the Hajj by Saudi Arabia is also being shown this year. So far, more than 132,000 cases of corona virus have been reported in Saudi Arabia and the number is constantly increasing-

A senior executive at Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Hajj and Umrah told the Financial Times that "this issue is being carefully considered and that various options are being considered.

The Hajj is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, attended by about 2 million people, and an official resolution on the Hajj is expected to be unveiled this week.

Following the cancellation of gatherings from various sectors around the world, Saudi Arabia is now considering the option of canceling the Hajj this year-

 

The Saudi government is considering two proposals. One is that very few locals should be allowed to perform Hajj. The second is to cancel the Hajj altogether.-

Earlier, Saudi Arabia did not cancel the Hajj during the Ebola and MERS epidemics. However, this time around, the death toll and the sharp rise in coronavirus cases have forced the state to reconsider its decision-

Many countries are reluctant to send people to Hajj:

An average of 3,000 cases of the corona virus occur daily in each country, and the death toll exceeds 800 - millions of people from around the world travel to Saudi Arabia each year to perform the Hajj, with Indonesia having the largest number. - More than 200,000 people from Indonesia arrive in Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj - but this time the Indonesian government has imposed travel restrictions on its people.

 

Currently, Saudi Arabia has also banned the payment of Umrah, which was imposed in February, while Saudi Arabia lifted the ban on international travel on May 20-

Muslims have been performing Hajj since 630, but in the past, Hajj has been affected. Hajj was closed about 40 times for political, economic or health purposes-

If Saudi Arabia goes ahead with the Hajj and the Corona virus situation does not improve, it could put pressure on Saudi Arabia's health sector and at the same time lead the country to international criticism. Compensation may also be demanded. On the other hand, if the Hajj is canceled, it will have a negative impact on the economy of Saudi Arabia and may cause more damage to the local economy of Makkah and Madinah-
